Principal’s Message

Welcome to O’Connor Catholic College in Armidale, where we provide a high-quality Catholic education in a faith-driven, supportive, and competitive learning environment. We prioritise creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all our students, fostering a sense of belonging and connection to the school, enabling them to reach their full potential.

Founded in 1975 through the amalgamation of St Ursula’s College and De La Salle College for Boys, the College’s rich history is rooted in these two key charisms that continue to shape our vibrant school community today.

O’Connor Catholic College has a proud tradition of excellence across all areas, including strong spiritual, academic, and sporting achievements. We also offer diverse opportunities in Agriculture, Creative and Performing Arts, Public Speaking, and Vocational Education.

With expansive grounds, historic buildings, and a long-standing educational legacy in Armidale, O’Connor Catholic College remains committed to serving the local Catholic and broader New England communities. We are proud to provide an outstanding educational experience for students in Years 7–12. We invite you to join us and be part of our college community.
